I'm working on a Python script that scrapes a website based on user input. For practice, I'm using a sample website from which I am scraping data. The issue I have is in my use of the wait(10) method. The code reads as follows:
from os import wait
from lxml import html, etree
import requests
def select_PA_city(self):
pa_city_list = ["Philadelphia", "Pittsburgh", "Harrisburg", "Erie", "Scranton", "Allentown"]
print("The major cities in Pennsylvania are Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg,"
"Erie, Scranton, and Allentown.")
city_found = False
while not city_found:
pa_city = input("Select a Pennsylvania city from this list:")
for city in pa_city_list:
if pa_city == city:
print("You selected " + pa_city)
city_found = True
else:
pass
if city_found:
print("That city is one of the top 6 listed.")
else:
print("That city (" + pa_city + "} is not in the top 6. Please try again.")
os.system.wait(10)
return pa_city
Now I'm using PyCharm community as my Python IDE and the first import statement is not being recognized. I checked the os.py module in my c:\Python38\Lib\ directory, and cannot find the wait method in there. How do I locate the actual wait() method definition in another Python module, or is there another Python module that contains the wait() method? If not, what alternate method should I use for initiating a 10-second delay?
